When a gun has a "Long Slide" it basically means it has a longer barrel thus it has a longer slide to cover the barrel. Basically to give you more accuracy and a longer sight radius. The Honor Guard series is a subcompact 9mm handgun, complete with features that are typically found on higher-cost offerings. The handgun is 100% completely and totally ambidextrous. The magazine release and the slide release are both mirrored on the handgun. The safety is mirrored on both sides too, with placement and operation like the common 1911 platform.
